Yeah I added an additional comment that the Boomers were just patsies. I actually don’t buy into this generational division, although sometimes it is helpful to talk about the generations in a generalized way to analyze these broad shifts in society. I think there is some truth to this - Boomers DO tend to be a certain way, as are Gen X and Millennial - but obviously everyone is an individual.
I was also thinking about this more and I would say Gen X also fell for this race-neutral worldview. And as an ideal, on paper, it sounds pretty good. I could see why so many people thought this was the way. And in a sense, they might have been right. We actually were moving towards something like a post-racial or race-neutral society in the ‘80s and ‘90s. But then the division merchants saw where things were headed and decided to start meddling. So it’s possible MLK’s dream actually COULD have worked, but it was sabotaged.
Have you noticed that often, when someone points out that racial equality has turned out to be a myth because of average IQ and other factors, and that one group is on average far more violent and criminal than the others, there's a bunch of posters here who call them "Stormfront" and more recently, Voaters, and they talk primarily to each other, backing each other up, and use similar language?
Because I have noticed that.
To your point... Yes, all good points. But I think that the race-neutral worldview is something we can use against the left, because it's something that MLK called for (even though there's evidence that he was a commie agitator all along). We can use it against them because they are virulently racist against whites now, but in ways that make a mockery of everything MLK said in public. Maybe we can build up some resistance to it that way. Even though racial equality is a myth, it can be a useful myth in these times, in some particular uses.
The Boomers? You think they came up with it all by themselves? You know the Marxists are the ones who invented the word "racism", right?
